Med Net & G4FRN

[mithril]

Is Bill still running the Med Net on 14303?

I've listened a few evenings and not heard him.

Super service he has given me over these last few years, thanks Bill.

I think you're more likely to hear him at 08.00Z
Have you heard anything on 7085, I would like to restart this net, I think it was at 07.00Z
There's also another net on 8122 at 05.30Z

what is "zulu time" in EEC time??? Are you on those nets at those times?

Life is so complicated

Re: Med Net & G4FRN

Z Zulu is UTC/GMT Steve.
At the moment I'm just listening, but should be able to transmit from about 8th July,
when the boat goes back in the water.

Re: Med Net & G4FRN

didn't he move to 0800 BST and 1800 BST during summer time?

Re: Med Net & G4FRN

His times are always the same which makes summertime listening hot!Like me your confused by summer/winter time changes.Better if the EEC left the time the same.

At least with bills net you dont have the added complication of knowing what day it is its every day.If your worried & cant find his net i have his phone number if you need it??

Thanks Trouville

All I really wanted to know was "is he still operational, is the Med Net still on"

I've missed my morning chat with Bill whenever his traffic was on the light side.

It is inevitable for all of us that eight bells will toll sometime - and these bells were recently sounded for Bill.
